☀️ How to Look After Salvia ‘Lake Blueberry’ in Perth
Sunlight:
Plant in full sun to part shade. Morning sun with some protection from Perth’s intense afternoon summer heat can be beneficial.
Soil:
Use well-drained soil enriched with compost or quality organic matter. Avoid areas that remain wet after watering.
Watering:
Water deeply after planting. Once established, allow the soil surface to dry slightly between watering. During Perth’s hot summer, monitor plants carefully and provide additional water during prolonged heat.
Pruning:
Regularly remove spent flowers to encourage more blooms. Give the plant a good prune after a major flowering period to maintain a compact, bushy shape.
Fertiliser:
Apply a balanced slow-release fertiliser in spring. Avoid excessive fertilising, which can encourage soft, leafy growth.
Summer care:
Good drainage, morning watering and a layer of mulch around—but not touching—the stems can help the plant cope with Perth’s hot, dry conditions.
